1590BB drill template for 2 in, 2 out?

Does anyone have a drill template for a 1590BB (or more specifically a PPP 1590NS if they aren't identical?) that features the following:
- 4 knobs
- 1 footswitch
- 1 5mm LED bezel
- 2 inputs on the right and 2 outputs on the left
- DC jack on the north side

I am not so talented with computer graphics programs and some of the templates I've seen here have been great!

Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!  :)

Lay the components on the top and mark it. This works for me when there is no template. Just do the inputs / outputs  and DC jack last after you get the pots on and mounted in the enclosure. DIY baby!

Sorry, I should have explained better in my first post. I don't currently have the enclosure, nor a drill press, so I wanted to order a pre-drilled one from Pedal Parts Plus. The only thing is they require a drill template before they will drill one for you, and since I couldn't find any styles there with 2 ins and 2 outs, I thought I'd check here. I've seen people whip up really good drill templates so I was asking to see if anyone was able!

vertical or horizontal?
you could try something like this

Print it up cut it up and take measurements then sent to PPP

I was thinking vertical - the two PCBs aren't going to be that big in there (Zero Point Micro and JMK Panner). That PDF is cool, thanks for that. I'll give it a go.

Here is what I came up with, hope it works.

Yea that's great to have that PDF to start with. All PPP needs is distances from the enclosure edges for each hole so that should work great.

If that template were available in a PDF you could open it in Inkscape and be able to manipulate the various elements and create the layout using the software rather then paper and scissors. Plus getting familiar with Inkscape gives you a great tool for creating any desired graphics for your boxes.

Geofex has a 'bb', pdf template that you can do that with.
